A day in the life

What DOES a day in the life of this young wife look like?

7:30am Alarm goes off. Groan and push snooze. Roll over for some morning cuddles with the Hubs
7:39am Alarm goes off again. Sleep through it while Hubs presses snooze every nine minutes until...
8:24am Get up and let the dogs out. Use the potty (don't say you don't first thing in the morning) and grab sweats/robe.
8:30am Head to the kitchen to feed the dogs. Jackie is already barking at the door.
8:32am Consider whether to join Hubs in the shower to save water or make him a surprise breakfast.
8:33am Decide that cereal and Facebook sound like a lot less work than either a shower or a surprise breakfast.
8:34am Start tea pot and make cereal. Check email, Facebook, blog, and TapZoo.

I had intended to make a whole day's schedule for you, but the truth is on any given day I can be going to projects with Jake, cleaning the house, cooking, babysitting for friends, walking the dogs, working out, paying bills, running errands, making copies, filing paperwork, thinking about what to make for dinner, menu planning, grocery shopping, going to the bank, vacuuming, brushing the dogs, vacuuming some more, washing dishes, washing laundry, meeting with our accountant, thinking about house projects, watering plants, vacuuming again, talking on the phone with Mom, stopping by Mom's house to talk to her face to face, making lunch at home, going to lunch with a friend, going to lunch with Jake, vacuuming, being a sexcretary (not a typo), stapling documents, making dessert, answering the phone, talking to clients, more vacuuming, and...and...and...
